Kind of day...so that's that.
My sister and I have been training to actually run a 5K...followed by 10K and then our goal is to successfully run the Memorial 1/2 marathon again next year...because this year although we finished and were super proud of our accomplishment, our time leaves something to be desired.
So, I've learned in weeks of 5K training that if my blood sugar is high I feel like I'm going to die, can't breathe, and want to go home and take a nap...and complain the whole way...and if I'm low, well that would just end horribly, so I have to eat/drink first and them I'm sluggish.
So the ideal goal is to be between 120-160 before starting because the next problem is that you usually lower while running *I say usually because there is that random day where I spike from 160-250 during a walk/run too*. However, I don't know what's going to happen when we go from our 30 minute 2-3 miles to a longer jaunt...because that will throw everything off.
Not to worry! We will get there and power through one daily struggling run at a time lol! But damnit, sometimes I just wish I could go out there and run without the need for blood sugar checks, snacks, pumps, meters, monitors, etc.
